of sexual misconduct and sexual assault, so there is pressure for the franchise to show promise and produce positive results with the Stefanski-Watson pairing in place down the stretch.Will Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam stick with Kevin Stefanski for another season?
However, it's fair to remind everyone testing the patience of this Browns ownership group is not wise. Jimmy Haslam, by his own admission, is impatient by nature.

He hired Woods and retained Priefer, a holdover from the regime led by former general manager John Dorsey and coach Freddie Kitchens. Even if Watson avoids a full dose of vitriol, he must adjust to real NFL action for the first time in 700 days ― or one year, 11 months and one day. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Jan. 3, 2021, after sitting out last season in Houston amid a trade request.
